sinus augmentation. J Int Clin Dent Res Organ 2015;7:81-93.
All patients completed the healing period of the
sinus augmentation procedure without complications.
Autologous bone is considered the gold standard in
sinus augmentation procedures but exposes to donor site morbidity.
Bovine bone mineral (BBM), the most broadly used scaffold in
sinus augmentation, has similar morphology and mineral composition with human cancellous bone [15].
Maxillary
sinus augmentation for endosteal implants: organized alternative treatment plans.
Appropriate for both students and practicing dentists, the clinical guide provides detailed instructions for performing
sinus augmentation procedures in restoring the posterior edentulous maxilla with dental implants, and identifies anatomical landmarks to evaluate before surgery.
The maxillary morphology is important during planning of dental procedures such as dental implantation and
sinus augmentation (Malec et al., 2014), as well as anthropologically in forensic identification such as age or population affinity.
It identifies the blood vessels on the side walls of the maxillary sinus, which is necessary in cases of
sinus augmentation. CBCT technique is of great importance to doctors in the prevention of postoperative complications.
In conclusion, the findings from the present four case reports support the use of Re-Bone as a bone substitute in maxillary
sinus augmentation procedures.
To allow proper implant placement in posterior maxillary areas, the
sinus augmentation procedure was proposed by Tatum (9) 1977, with a description of the procedure first being published by Boyne and James (10) in 1980.
